On http://www.cs.uu.nl/~atze/Programming/index.html a version of ghc (4.08.1) and
happy (still 1.8) for MacOS X/Darwin can be downloaded. However, a few remarks do
apply: this version of ghc is not a completely ported version but built with generic
settings and meant as a bootstrapping compiler. It also is distributed as binaries for
a specific location (/usr/local/{ghc,happy}) in the UNIX directory structure. The main
reasons for distributing it in this unfinished form are:
- The MacOS X cc (c compiler) has some (blocking) bugs (for example, problems with asm
statements) which hinder progress.
- I consider 'unfinished' availability now of greater importance than 'perfect'
availability later, so people can play with it.
- The compiler seems to run ok, that is, after minimal testing (compiling ghc
libraries and a local AG + parsercombinator system).
